This Might Interest People - Especially MY Dear Friend ThingOnASpring!
I have been testing master Lt.Cmdr.Ivan latest ROM v3 for a long time, which is evident from my signature. The ROM is very stable!
When master ThingOnASpring came out with his latest ROM, I thought to give it a try. Especially, the ROM had build in HTC Home today plugin.
I found this ROM of master ThingOnASpring to be very unstable with lots of crashes and freeze ups. The freeze ups were like in olden days and when someone called, the Universal hanged up.
So, I went back to master Lt.Cmdr.Ivan ROM again. Since I like HTC Home today plugin, the first thing I did, was to install this plugin.
Guess What?
The ROM was not stable anymore!
It had lots of crashes and freeze ups. The freeze ups were like in olden days and when someone called, the Universal hanged up.
So, I did a hard reset and didn't install the HTC Home today plugin, the ROM is now working flawlessly and stable just like before!
Go figure!
KOR!
Thx,
Good to know, I'll cook the ROM without the HTC Home , which anyway I wanted to swap by rltoday!
Cheers
Depends which one you use, I suppose...
Ever since the homeplug came out I've been using it and I had some problems with the early versions. However I kept this version which seems to be stable it doesn't freeze the phone and works very well. The only problem I've found with it is that if you set the phone to vibrate using the homeplug it sometimes loses your default ringtone...
So give it a try and see what you think. You might need to have a look at Maimach's fix for the homeplug but as always once you do this it might affect the stability.

Dear wtpelzer,
Thanks a lot. Will surely give it a try. I did try master Maimach's fix for the HTC Home plugin.
I have already downloaded your plugin!
I see you are still using master N. N. Coung's ROM, like me. It is one of the greatest ROM!
Thanks again,
KOR!

is anyone having crashing with incoming calls with the htc home plugin??? i have installed a number of versions but cannot seem to get any to work without crashing my uni when someone calls me!!
in my case, universal freezing upon receiving calls happens whatever HTC Home Today plugin version is installed.
i haven't found a solution yet other than uninstalling the HTC Home, but you can try a temporary solution: remove the SD card from the slot & i can now receive calls without freezing.
can anybody having the same freezing problem confirm this?
confirmed!!

Well, as I posted yesterday, I'm running the HTC Home Today plugin posted by teixierabmb (links provided there) on my Exec, flashed with Ivan's v3.9 ROM. I keep my 8GB SDHC card inserted all the time, and I simply don't experience any freezes with incoming calls at all.

As far as I know, Jason's latest ROM had problems to properly handle SDHC cards. So, the SD drivers might really be vilains there...

hi drsqueggy,
do you mean confirmed that removing SD Card temporarily solved freezing problem?
i'm trying to figure out if its a registry hack related to SD (i.e. PIE cache to SD), the SD type & speed (tried MMC but freezes too), or what?
by the way my uni is a vodafone V1640.
I've tried the 2 SD drivers that come with the latest nncuong's rom, but the phone still froze intermitterntly on incoming calls (and keeps vibrating).
I won't uninstall htc home, coz i'm going to miss it.
Rant follows, please read it and check if you share my views about the question: -----------------
I'm beginning to think the Universal is flawed inside in its hardware, and nothing can be done for it.
With the universal, we have a slower WM6 than the competition, and a load of bugs that are still there from the veyr beginning. My Uni already froze a lot of times without reason, for example when I closed TCPMP, or when I opened the control panel. It seems like old bugs sometimes resuscitate from the grave
I miss the ability of other phones (and other PDA's too) to wake up and starrt to ring INSTANTLY when a call comes in, and not after 2 or 3 seconds.
And also that pause when you answer a call, where the other end doesn't hear you but you can hear him, is very bugging.
Let's face it: the Uni is not well engineered, either, as there are some components in the system that act like bottlenecks. Sure, SKTools benchmark give the Uni its say, but the truth is not that. Try installing a CAB file on the Uni and the same cab file on an HTC Touch. Guess what, the touch does it in 1/4 the time of the Uni. And guess what, the Touch's processor is the old ****ty omap 850 (a seriously-underpowered 200 mhz processor!). How could this be possible???
But the worst part of the history, is that every rom released only adds its bugs to the pile. I think they (the cookers) should unite and make some serious information-sharing, trouble-shooting and rom-releasing work together.
Heck, admit it, every now & there a rom comes out that use a "new extraordinary revolutionary mega-fast driver", only to discover, days later, that this driver is only mega-unstable and that it had already been tried months before.
I didn't have all those problems with my old Tornado's WM6 hack... they (the cookers) released a WM6 rom, and it worked flawlessy at first chance, way better than the original WM5.

you will lose all of the data that is stored on the phone itself, what is stored on the memory card will not be erased.
As for the programs you will have to reinstall them and co pilot remember to deactivate this etc before upgrading all in the page when you download the rom from o2.
Also it is a rom update, from 6.0 to 6.1, the improvements are minimal apart from the speed improvements which should make it worth it for you to do if you want to spend the time reconfiguring it that is.
Hope that helps
You should NOT upgrade.
I did, and now I have only problems which I didn't have while on 6.0. You can find my posts in this forum.
On the other hand, if you have problems now, try upgrading.
But upgrade was, IMHO, my worst mistake.
yeh but the difference is that your upgrade is the htc leaked rom that appeared on here??? htc still havent realeased the full 6.1 upgrade for the polaris, if they have then it slipped by me.
The one the person is talking about is the o2 6.1 upgrade which i have been running for the last month and had no problems...yet but thats the same with anything it can always happen.

There are a couple of advantages to updating. You can easily google or wikipedia for details on how WM6.1 has changed. What's not mentioned is the compatibility you get with the newer HTC software. What I did was install the new rom, delete Opera 8.65, and install the Opera 9.5, the new HTC Album, new HTC Audio Manager, and new HTC Youtube app. Its like I have a new phone! But w/o many of the instabilities and bugs that cooked ROMS offer. Furthermore, it definitely cured my Xperia upgrade desires.
Worth noting is that yes, you will lose all information on the phone. So either move stuff to your storage card, or back it up on the PC. (Both of which you should be doing anyhow). Old text messages, and call history can be backed-up and recovered using the Sprite Backup that was included on your original CDs. In fact, I highly suggest making a complete backup using Sprite so that you can easily revert to your old ROM and restore your previous files/settings w/o any hassle if you have any issues with WM6.1.
Known Bugs for the official WM6.1:
-Touch scrolling doesn't work well in the Programs Folder accessed from HTC Home
-The music tab in HTC Home cannot be enabled by registry edits
Solution:
-Use either the Start Menu Programs folder or replace the Programs Folder with something like TouchLaunch
-Either don't use the Music Tab a la original configuration or install the latest copy of HTC Home by Schen w/o the brightness fix
I wish I had never upgraded to WM 6.1, with WM 6.0 my Orbit 2 worked perfectly well, never froze and Bluetooth worked with my Parrot hands free even to the point that the CoPilot voice came out of the speakers. Since upgrading I have experienced a number of freezes, the Bluetooth connects when it wants to and even when connected half the time it will not transfer a call, sometimes placing a call 5 minutes after it was dialled. I have been looking for an official O2 WM 6.0 ROM to downgrade to see if that cures the problems because I cant see any improvement in speed and most of the other "features" of 6.1 are of no real use, the threaded SMS being one I find most annoying.
@ chris10230
My signature says "Official" WWE ROM. Yea, from HTC site, when it went public! So no beta or leaked. You must have missed us yelling "New ROM is out". But that's no big deal.
@ Mace
Downgrading to WWE 6.0 did not solve same problems as your's that I (still) have. So I think we're stuck. Hopefully something will go seriously wrong with my Polaris, so I'll replace it while still under guarantee...
@ both of you, find more here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411883. Please read posts from page 13... posts prior to that are just guessing or talking about problems with download/validation of device serial number...

Hi ladies and gentlemen
Most importantly, does anyone have new ROM to recommend? cooked or stock, whatever as long as stable, i.e. it could pick-up incoming call without HANGING.
BTW, is this P552w codename "Galaxy Mini2". Found allot of 'thai / india" site talking about it but don't understand.
currently using ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509548
Was OK to begin with then same problems appear later on, i.e. can't pick-up incoming call. The stupid ASUS P552w HANGS.
stock V5.4's radio is sucking power, hence life short, then Asus release V5.12 with upgraded radio firmware/protocol and solve the battery short life-span problem, but daily usage stability is extremely bad. Nearly everyday have to soft-reset.
backlight flicker and is unstable. Checked 4 other units from the shop, all same problems.
HK Asus Service Centre changed the screen for me in 24hours, was fine then problems occurs but not as much anymore. Found a permanent BLUE dot but dissapppeared just before I took it in for repair - dam !!!
Mapking's GPS to identify current position takes 3 mins to lock-on is it Mapking of this phone?
HTC Home version 2.1.1.005.772 for today installed OK, but does not work - any good advice??
SCLPC++ 3D version 0-051 Cube 4-sides installed OK, but does not work - any good advice ??
FTouchFLO 1.4.1 installed OK, but screen calibration does not start at all, then force RUN - HANGS - any good advice??
FTouchFLOR configurator installed OK, operates well, but no effect, cube does not pop up.
Overclocking does not work from XPUScaler, HomeScreen, 9000 Turbo, freeclock10d, speed v11, tornado power control. Any good advice???
Thanks to all in advance.
Update ROM again from http://all-cooked.blogspot.com/
Yesterday used the 21502 version - it does not have Asus Today and no Asus GLIDE. Even faster response due to less items. Tested allot of 3rd party software on it, many wrong settings done, hence
This morning update to 21231_WM7_titanium, matching with HomeScreen ++ UI Clock as today and clone HTC cube by SCLPC++ , launching via left soft key. Haven't found application to allow sweep up to trigger the cube to start. Also does not have Asus Today and Asus GLIDE.
FTouchFlo seems not compatible.
Anyway have overclocking software to recommend?
Anyone how to enable HTC Home version 2 on this P552w ????
Anyone have clone HTC Home to recommend?
Thanks in advance.

well well well .....
original HTC Cube working partially from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336482
problem now is touch_screen too sensitive, can't scroll, due to FTouchFlo. Haven't found a suitable / matching setting yet.
original CUBE is able to appear via flick up, but very difficult due to wrong screen sensitivity. CUBE also closed down, but does not flip left and right, probably due to sensitivity issue I guess.....
both not full-proof yet, some missing links / bug where icon taps not dissappearing or whatever.
most probably not the software, but me
installed and uninstalled countless stuffs and times, many simpler buttons and link not working already, hence probably registry screwed up badly by me.
Plan to revert to ROM of 21502 version - it does not have Asus Today and no Asus GLIDE. And no msg appear after every reboot saying read the mort something. No many other background themes wasting space and file search time.

ROM 21502 has a bug, outlook email and sms does not work
reverted to 21501 since 11th July.
But ROM 21501 has another bug, Alarm not showing saturday - hahahahahaha
anyway, all in good fun I suppose.
Still can't get HTC Cube to work properly. Entire touch screen becomes too sensitive and every single apps open with the slightest of slide up.
Cube is extremely difficult to launch, 1 in every 50 of so
Saturday not showing in alarm is not ROM bug, is SPB mobile shell bug. Happens on ELF Onyx 5 beta 44 as well.

Started using ABM30's 1st August release of 23016 for P552w. Nice Win7 spalsh start up, no more mortscript click OK every turn-on, everything else seems fine.
I still have unstable issue, I start to suspect it's the hardware. I used to keep "turbo" for CPU, now reverted back to "automatic" and seems to have more stability.
update more later.

Just for sharing, incase someone wants to know if there was ever a conclusion to this topic's title. Yes, finally a perfect no bug stable rom found for incoming calls and others..... at least for me anyway.

The Title sais it all. When I get a reminder on the lockscreen of sense 3.0 the location is always "ID Studio Room" - at least if I didn't set a location.
Anyone else got this? any solutions?
Yes, it happens also to me. I would like to know why.
same here, using Desire S.
Fortunately this location? is not synchroed to my outlook (using MyPhoneExplorer, not HTC Sync)
strange...
I have this bug too. I get this error also if i set a location in my gmail calendar.
I've been suffering from this damn thing since upgrading to ARHD 6.1.1. It still occurs in 6.1.3.
My two complaints are the ID Studio Room location for every damn event -AND- the "dismiss" calendar events no the lock screen ALWAYS goes to the damn event detail screen.
A fix would be most helpful.
FYI: I'm using an Inspire 4G (Desire HD rebranded). So, yeah.
I have just seen that even if the location has been set, the ID Studio Room message still appears. So, I don't think it only appears if a location is not set.

by the way MyPhoneExplorer is awesome, new version provides live view (remote control) of your phone on your PC!
Had my first reminder this morning and got this annoying glitch as well.
Using Stock O2 - Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.0
Any news on this??
so.... we are the only ones in this forum with this bug? I still haven't found any solution..
More simply people get rid of that.
I have been having this issue since the update too, nothing dramatic but a bit annoying
Bug confirmed on device which was updated to 20.1.401.8 using RUU (rather than OTA update)
Also present on calendar entries created on device rather than imported - So external software doesn't seem to be responsible.
Slightly annoying! Hope they'll fix this is the next patch which repairs the patch which fixed the bugs etc etc etc
I've had this same issue. It confused the heck out of me when a reminder went off early one morning and all I saw was "ID Studio Room" and I thought it was a text message from my wife about leaving her ID in our studio.
I'm using an HTC Inspire 4G with Android Revolution HD. Didn't start until I flashed that ROM from stock.
I also didn't do a complete wipe of my SD card when I flashed it. Maybe this could cause the issue? (probably not)
Does anybody else have this issue and also didn't do a clean wipe?
I've made a full wipe many times, and this didn't solve the problem. A SD card wipe doesn't have anything to do with it as well.

The issue relates to dev/leaked ROMs for other devices being used for our devices as bases.
My phone, the Inspire 4G, had this problem with every ROM based on Pyramid and above. However, I'm using a ROM based off of the latest update from the stock ROM. It has NO defects like this. Try a ROM based off of your stock ROM.
I've recently switched to Endymion ROM and I see that "ID Studio Room" doesn't appear anymore. Now the location appears in place of it.
I think that this issue is related to the HTC Sense. Is it possible? Or does it happen also to people without HTC Sense?
Now I have HTC Sense 3.5, and the problem was present when I was using the version 3.0.

While I do not know its direct relation to Sense, I am positive that it has to do with with which dev build of leaked HTC test ROM's were in use. A large number of dev builds have minor errors like that.
This indeed was the case. If you get a ROM using something officially for your device, or at least based on a final product with a device comparable to your own, you're less prone to such annoying bugs.
Yes, maybe you are right actually. In truth I don't know if the build I am using is coming from an official release. Anyway it would probably depend on the build rather then the Sense version.

Hi, I was hoping someone could help me!
I had a Titan which I successfully updated to WP7.8 earlier this year using the 78er tool. Unfortunately I dropped that phone and smashed the screen but my insurance company just sent me a new handset so, naturally, the first thing I did was attempt to update to 7.8 again.
I realise now that I should probably have let the default WP7.5 ROM fully update through Zune before running 78er but, alas, I did not. Now, since updating to WP7.8, some aspects of my phone's functionality are working fine but other aspects are not.
For instance I cannot access a variety of settings: the WiFi menu, the accounts menus (email, Facebook, etc), the lock + wallpaper menu, mobile network menu and others. Every time I select one of these nothing happens.
I don't know what to do to resolve this - I cannot re-run 78er as it tells me that it has already updated, so I can only assume that I need to flash an earlier (stable) ROM and then re-run 78er again. But, I must confess I don't know how to do this.
Something that puzzles me is that the OS is otherwise operating normally.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks.
[RESOLVED]
RESOLVED!
After some searching I discovered that this was due to my selecting the wrong language during the Seven-Eighter update (I selected US English instead of UK English). It seems this is quite a common problem and the solution was to use Cab Sender to send the relevant UK English files to my phone from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
I had to start from the first update and work my way through. It didn't start working until I had updated to "WP 7.8 OS UPDATES (7.10.8779.8 - 7.10.8779.8)"
Patience is necessary!
